This week, Corey Hall gives his review of The Avengers, a movie so long in the making that the twelve-year-olds who really wanted to see this movie are now in their mid-thirties. Still, Corey is enthusiastic, while Joel feels that the general public isn’t really feeling this film, but it’ll make $200 million on opening weekend and about three-hundred bucks after that. Speaking of juvenile movies, the guys see Aardman’s Pirate movie (it’s OK), and Joel thinks Disney’s Chimpanzee is a collision of state-of-the-art visuals and cliched animated film narration – a near miss at a classic. Also, Dick Clark finally dies, Levon Helm sadly dies, and Mike Wallce dies as he lived – an asshole. Plus, HBO’s Girls is not for guys, Corey suffers through Law & Order, and Joel finally sees Bruce Springsteen after a twenty-five year wait.

This show has little shape or structure – just like the hosts! Anyway, Joel and Corey discuss Mitt Romney’s chance for election, the awfulness that is Wrath of the Titans, and Chevy Chase or Keith Olbermann – who’s a bigger asshole? Also, Joel rekindles a romance with The Band after watching The Last Waltz, Corey loves Alison Brie but (maybe) not as much as Lisa Loeb, and nobody really seems to like Sarah Palin. Plus, why Lasse Hallstrom isn’t famous, Joel’s picks and pans on DVD, and Ryan Seacrest is the new Dick Clark and not Carson Daly, who has carved out an awful persona all his own.
